~* In loving memory of Candy who died at
"You've served your purpose and I admit, without any trace of fear and humiliation in my heart, that life just isn't the same without you. Witnessing your death was one of the most emotionally-draining things I had to put up with. I cried every night for seven days after your death. It was so hard to accept. You were such a big part of me. I have to let you know that the manner in which you died caused me inexplicable pain, but what hurted me more was the fact that I can never go home again and hear the same barks, watch the same adorable groveling acts, and hug the same creature that has always been successful in cheering me up everytime I was feeling down. You may be lifeless and now only buried under the earth, but that isn't what matters to me anymore; what's important is you led not an unlived life. You didn't merely exist; you were alive every millisecond of your stay here. Tomorrow's not gonna make me cry because today it was made clear to me that you're not really gone. I just have to close my eyes. And feel you here. You've made a difference simply by being. I miss you and you're still here in my heart." ~ Aphrodite
